Parliament Building Renewed Silver Dollar. The third coin in the Royal Canadian Mint’s Masters Club-exclusive series of renewed silver dollar designs features the 1939 commemorative silver dollar celebrating the royal visit of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (the Queen Mother)-the first visit to Canada by a reigning British monarch. The late 1930s were a time of tumult for the British monarchy. King George V’s silver jubilee year, 1935, ended sadly when he fell gravely ill. He passed away in January 1936. His son Edward VIII’s ascension was short-lived: Edward abdicated later that year, leaving his brother, George VI, to take the throne. These shifts in leadership meant that mints across the British Empire had to make ongoing changes to coinage in collaboration with the Royal Mint in London-a time-consuming task in this era. As matters at Windsor Castle settled down in 1938, the Government of Canada, unable to produce a commemorative coin in time for George VI’s 1937 coronation, decided to celebrate His Majesty’s planned royal visit in 1939-the first such visit on Canadian soil-and thus this commemorative silver dollar was born. A highly limited mintage of only 4,000 coins. Box sleeve features the Masters Club logo. King George VI’s effigy taken from the original 1939 commemorative silver dollar. Packaging: Wooden display box with custom beauty box. THIS ITEM IS GST / HST EXEMPT. Citadel Coins Halifax, Nova Scotia Official Royal Canadian Mint Distributor.
